- Veteran tree expert and enthusiast, Jim Mullholland, walks through the 19th century Torthworth Arboretum describing some of the examples of wood-decay fungi he finds there, including `Chicken of the Woods` (Laetiporus sulphureus) and `Beefsteak Fungus` (Fistulina hepatica). Jim explains how a wood-decay fungus is classified in various different ways depending on the type of decay it causes - such as the crumbly, cubicle brown rot or the more spongy white rot that breaks down the lignin in the wood. He tells us how a fungus does not necessarily lead to the destruction of the tree; that fruiting bodies of certain fungi can be extremely useful for wildlife; and recommends a limit to the size and number of wounds on a tree so that it is less likely for decay to set in. tortwortharbore... ; www.ancienttree... .

One of the best videos in the series. This young man is a breath of fresh air. 👍👍👍
This man is a drink of cold pepsi
What a lovely chap! Loved watching this do upload more of your work 😁
A fun guy talking about fungi. Excellent video.
A fun guy in what respect?
Great video, really informative and well delivered. Keep them coming.
This was brilliant 👍👍
Great work and great knowledge.
By far the best woodlands tv video I have watched to date, absolutely fascinating and so well explained by Jim. I just love learning about the natural interaction of plants in the woods, I'm going to watch it again and please keep these coming, thank you
Very informational more of these please :)
Where can I find more of Jims work? hes fascinating to listen to. Only problem I have is someone who looks so young being a 'veteran' lol, not denying his expertise, just feeling my age!
This might be his channel, but I doubt it's what you're hoping for: channel/UCcxgmE0Z3NAW3n1yzTPohpA/videos

Thanks! I found some more about him here.. www.ancienttreeforum.co.uk/ and here.. www.eco-arb.co.uk/services.html and here.. tortwortharboretum.org/ Interesting chap! Would love to have him walk through the woods with me. Cant see the wood for the trees? This guy cant see the trees for the fungus and bats! Awesome!

He is not a _veteran_ tree expert, he is a _veteran-tree_ expert.
A hyphen makes all the difference.
Excellent dissertation, thank you for sharing.
I was under the impression the tree walls off the area of decay (CODIT) to protect the living wood from the decay fungi, rather than the fungi walling off the area to protect it from the wood as stated here. The wood has no active method of fighting decay beyond walling it off.
Great video but as some others have commented it’s the tree that is creating the barrier zone, not the fungus. See Shigo and the CODIT model.
great video! channels like this are amazing for information
I was picking up branches as I picked it up, I thought to myself (oh no I forgot my gloves) few days later my hand had a rash, it itched to the point i was scratching to the point it blended. when to doctors they tired everything, none thing worked, after 4 years I'm still in pain. This told place in Severe, Maryland. what kind of rash did I get from the tree and how to treat it
So great and informative!
Need more of this in my life
I have serious concerns about all our trees, i fear they are suffering and dying. My home town has had half chopped down since last autumn, all the brambles are like mulch, everything is coated in layers upon layers of mould, strange puss oozing out of felled stumps, trees that have turned black, look slashed and are drying out or going soft from the inside, They are hosting a LOT of insects, larvae and ants etc. There are no leaves on any as yet, small buds opening on my rowan tree and the cherry blossom is out. Apart from sweet chestnut with the patterns in loss of bark and birch trees that look like they are bleeding ti am failing to identify them at a distance . There looks like a nest in my rowan tree, low down and its made it buckle. Looks like tiny green bottles. My hazelnut tree has something housed in it too, i saw a couple of i think processionary caterpillars last year, they house for a year and could be in the tree. Today out walking the dog as usual, i happened to see a group of Red Admiral (i think) butterflies, all paired up dancing in the grass and sky and it breaks my heart to think what could happen and i need to wise up wake up and help. We all do. Love and God Bless
Thank you. 👌💕
All of the trees on my property are falling down. The inside core of the trees are spongy and full of mycelium. I want to replant some trees but I haven't found any information on how to treat the yard for this fungus.
Awsome video mate
Where can I get the spoors for these?
What is the names you called the two fungi?
Great 👍🏻 seems like a fun guy too..
I believe my TREEology playlist would blow your mind. But, you need the link, first. I hope you’re ready for this. Lol. Enjoy. 😊

Hi, We have a huge beech near our house. Unfortunately it has bracket fungus (two small ledges). Is there anything we can do to save this beautiful tree? If not, when will we have to cut it down to protect the house? Any advice you (or other viewers) can provide would be appreciated. I enjoyed the explanation you provided in your video which I hadn’t heard before. Thanks, Simon K
Hi Simon, I've only just seen this video (and your question). Is the tree still standing?
Excellent, It is so encouraging to see the young know about these important things. I was appalled to see beautiful old trees have their limbs torn off with chains on a National Trust property to encourage fungi to grow. They obviously need to grow naturally along with the tree. Ignorance only 15 years ago.
wow... ignorance only 2 years ago
C. Mattheck have lots of work on tree body leagues.
In my country, Taiwan, Dr.劉東啟 is the best professor study in this area.

If no fungi can decompose trees, CO2 in atmosphere will drop.
